They Were Expendable

A Tribute to Those Who Did So Much... With So Little!

Lt. "Rusty" Ryan is frustrated when Navy leadership remains unconvinced of PT boats' combat value after a demonstration. Everything changes after the attack on Pearl Harbor, when Ryan and his friend Lt. Brickley are cleared to lead their squadron into action. The boats quickly validate themselves by shooting down Japanese planes, relaying messages between islands, and picking off numerous enemy ships.
